I’m totally feeling loved at my off-site. I found a few articles for one of the SLPs there through my University’s Data Based. It only took me about 30 minutes to find most of them (the others I didn’t have access to). Well, today I came in and there’s a cute little card and a Starbucks Gift Certificate! N. was so sweet to do that for me! I really wasn’t expecting anything for my time and I did it just to help her. It was such a sweet gesture.
My supervisor continues to sing my praises, even to the other SLPs that work in the same practice. N. doesn’t want me to leave either. Perhaps between H. and N. they can appeal to the powers that be to get me a job… that would be so fantastic. I absolutely love the private practice I’m at… I don’t want to leave it!
It really feels great to know that your supervisor has every faith in you and that she feels more than comfortable leaving you alone with clients. I feel very justified that I’ve found my calling.
In other news, we’re currently doing a resume project for my practicum class at the University. We were required to write a resume and a cover-letter to any setting of our choice (and of course I chose my private practice). Now, this hasn’t been graded yet, but I’m attaching the bulk of my resume (with identifying information blocked out) to give an idea of what it could look like. We had an entire lecture on resume writing. I may do an entry about that in the future. I didn’t find it that difficult, but it took a while to get the look and feel I wanted. Now, obviously I’m missing my last practicum site. This will be added once I actually start that off-site and begin sending out resume’s in about March.
